MAURY SCHOOLS

PLAN TO AID

IN 4TH BOND DRIVE

At the request of Hanes Ayres, war finance chairman, an organization has been set up to push the Fourth War Loan drive in every school in Maury County, according to J. Rufus Baker, school superintendent.

School personnel has been appointed to head committees which will sell bonds and stamps and through the children, carry the drive into the homes, Mr. Baker said.

February 15, the last day of the drive, has been designated as “Schools-at-War Day,” he explained, pointing out that the big feature of the day will be a last minute clean-up drive, a school-sponsored war stamp album treasure hunt to ferret out partially filled stamp books and get the owners to turn them in for bonds.
